Dear XX,

I’m not sure why I’m writing this tonight. I guess it’s because you and God have made me so happy lately. I just got back from shooting pool. It’s a full moon tonight; oh how I wish you could see it right now it’s truly beautiful. There’s a little breeze blowing from the south, just enough to tickle the hair on the back of your neck. I’m lay’n on this old blanket on top of my house. I haven’t done this in so long.....so very long. I only come up here when I’m happy or at peace with myself. The stars are so bright tonight. I can look over my shoulder and see your star. It’s the one I always find; it’s in the direction of your house. I pray about it sometimes. I picture God sitting on it, watching over you and your family. In my dreams I can see him sitting there; he looks at me and waves his hand like everything’s okay and I let out a sigh of relief.

You know, I’m not sure how things will be in heaven but I hope that nights like this will be up there too. Maybe if we’re both up there you could come over to my part of heaven. You could lay on my blanket that way I wouldn’t have to write it to you; instead I could whisper it in your ear and see you smile. Your smile is just like one of these nights to me. It makes me so happy and glad to be alive and able to see it.

I’m not sure what time it is but the moon is almost right above me now. I like it when it’s this bright, I don’t need a light to see my writing and I can focus my eyes better in the night. The clouds are beautiful to. Their in rows, a little apart from each other. You can see the blue night between them and all around. It kind of looks like sand with the water rushing over it. There’s also that glowing ring of light in the clouds coming from the moon. It makes them look a pale lavender.

There’s crickets in the yard. I can hear them calling to one another. They sound so far apart. Kind of like us and I’m calling to you with my writing. Even though you can’t answer I know you care so much.

You know, there’s room on this old blanket for two. Even though I’m so happy now I know it would be even better if tonight I was with you. I would love to hold you tight and just listen to all the sounds and watch all this taking place.

XX, I hope these thoughts of mine tonight will become little fairies and fly into your dreams making them sweet and wonderful.....
